Rika's POV

"Welcome Mr.Rish and Ms.Shrinikith! May you have a peaceful flight ahead sir and ma'am!", said the air hostess with a gentle smile.

"Thank you", I replied with a smile while Adhvik simply nodded with a stone face. When the air hostess whose name tag read 'Tonia' passed us, I elbowed Adhvik in his ribs for his rudeness to which he didn't even wince a bit. Truly, made of stone!

He turned to me and asked "what".

"I know that telling 'thank you' is overrated for you! But you can't even smile a little?? Sometimes I wonder if you're really Sanvi Aunty's son!", I replied with a huff and then took my seat near the window. Even though there are seven more seats in Adhvik's private jet, he chose the one next to me and sat with a smirk.

Then, he turned to face me and said, "Don't question my parentage sweetheart... Besides, I'm all smiles with you... Don't I? That should clear your doubt..."

"That's what Mr.Rish... Why are you smiling only to me?! And don't call Mr sweetheart!"

"That's simple... Because, its you... My smiles are only for you, sweetheart... Besides, smiles didn't get me to where I'm today, sweetheart... Smiles didn't make me a billionaire...", he said smirking.

His reply only made me sigh even though I felt special in a way. To ponder more on the subject, I decided to dig deep.

"Oh! Why me?! And you are not planing on leaving the 'sweetheart'... Do you?!"

"Nope! Not planning to do any such thing sweetheart... And you already know the answer for your 'why me' question!"

"Don't you think that you are killing this sweetheart thing by using it a little too much?! Anyways, what the agenda for our stay?!"

With that, his playfulness faded and he went all business-mode. The rest of our journey almost consisted of doing a presentation for the contract until it was time for dinner. By that time, I was completely and utterly exhausted. After dinner, all I really wanted to do was, to crawl into bed and sleep hard. But that was where the problem arose.

There was only one bedroom in his private jet and he was equally exhausted as me. Keeping in mind that he has to do the presentation tomorrow, I decided to sleep on the uncomfortable recliner seat of the jet. Besides, he let me sleep in his bedroom during my moving day. So, it's time to return the favor.

Deciding this, I turned to return back from the bedroom. But, before I can come out of the bedroom, I bumped into Adhvik.

"I'm sleeping in the recliner... You take the bed... Okay??"

If you think that I said those words, then its a big no. Adhvik, the man himself said it, surprising me.

"No no... You take the bed...", I protested.

This protests kept on going until I was out of anymore energy. Unable to argue any further, I said ,

"Okay listen... We will share the bed..."

If you had thought that Dhvi readily accepted, then you are wrong. Being the drama queen he is, he decided to create a little drama.

"Nooo... What made you think that I'll let you take advantage over me, Ms.Shrinikith??? I'm not that kind of guy!", he said with a over dramatic expression, but the slight tilt of his lips gave him away.

"Oh.. Quit being a drama queen and sleep already... I'm too tired to argue.."

With that, I climbed on the right side of the bed and Dhvi laid down on the left side, both facing each other.
